How George Bushs single White House term shaped United States history for decades

Canadian politicians past and present offered their condolences on Saturday following the death of former US president George H.W. Bush, with former prime minister Brian Mulroney calling it "an enormous loss". He also navigated the United States through the end of the Cold War, with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Soviet Union, and the reunification of Germany.

Gorbachev, 87, expressed his "deep condolences" to the family of the 41st USA president and the entire American nation.

They also lauded the modesty he showed amid his achievements.

In January 2006, Bush, despite his advancing age, visited Pakistan to meet the survivors of the 2005 devastating quake that rocked the northern part of the country.

In a brief statement, the Republican said "George H.W. Bush was an American hero and icon".

Mulroney, whose nine years in power overlapped with Bush's four, said the last time he saw his friend was in late September, when he was in Kennebunkport, Maine, to accept the George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service.

"George Bush Sr. has also done a lot to strengthen Russian-American cooperation on the issues of global security", Putin added. "I am grateful for every minute I spent with him and will always hold our friendship as one of my life's greatest gifts".

Former President Bill Clinton is remembering George H.W. Bush for his "great long life of service, love and friendship". His son, George W. Bush also became the 43rd president eight years later, becoming the only other US president, who had a son who also became president, after John Adams.

Meanwhile, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe wrote that Bush was "a humble, well-respected political figure while serving and through his many years post-presidency".

"On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own behalf, I extend my deepest condolences to you, the family of the late George Herbert Walker Bush, and the whole people of the United States".

"He was truly a gentleman of American politics and one of the world's most principled defenders of freedom and democracy", Scheer said in a statement.

President Donald Trump, whom Bush pointedly did not support in the bitter 2016 campaign, and First Lady Melania Trump praised the former president in an official White House statement.

"The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41's life and love, for the compassion of those who cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our friends and fellow citizens".

"The legacy of George H.W. Bush will be forever etched in the history of America and the world", Baker's statement said, according to the New York Times.
